EXCEL & Impact Grants

Excel and Impact Grants

Students learn when they are engaged. Excel and Impact grants funds allow students to be transported offsite for real world learning, everything from visiting Seahurst Park for environmental learning, to the UW or Renton Tech for career exploration. Excel grants make these experiences possible. These grants fund projects that enable teachers, staff, and students to extend the regular curriculum for students, innovate in the classroom, and enrich student learning. Highline Public School employees can apply for these competitive grants each fall. Please review the grant guidelines carefully for information on application requirements and restrictions. Please contact the Foundation office with any questions about the process or if you need assistance with the application.
